Del. Mark Cole (R-VA-88) introduced a bill to permit former law-enforcement now working in Virginia public schools to carry any firearm.

House Bill No. 167 applies specifically to school board employees of Virginia elementary and secondary schools who are former law-enforcement officers in good standing.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
School board employees who are former law-enforcement officers; possession of firearms. Permits any local school board to allow any school board employee who is a former law-enforcement officer and ceased or retired from serving in such capacity while in good standing to possess any firearm designed or intended to expel a projectile by action of an explosion of a combustible material upon (i) any public elementary or secondary school in the school division, including buildings and grounds; (ii) that portion of any property open to the public and then exclusively used for school-sponsored functions or extracurricular activities while such functions or activities are taking place; and (iii) any school bus owned or operated by the local school board.

In 2014 Cole introduced a bill that would allow possession of a stun weapon, knife or other weapon, or a firearm on private or religious school property. HB 114 never made it out of the Committee on Militia, Police and Public Safety.

The Virginia General Assembly convenes its 2016 regular session on Wednesday, Jan. 13, 2016. The 60-day session ends on March 12, 2016.
